This bug also affects me on Linux Mint 15 Olivia running MATE 1.6.0 as well as previous Mint versions.
I just tried blegat suggestion at #11 quoting Hutterer, and set y-axis noise cancellation to 32 (my pointer shakes uncontrollably in the vertical axis only). So I executed xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Noise Cancellation" 8 32 and the issue virtually disappeared, making my touchpad usable for the first time. I will reboot the system, test it for some time, and if find anything relevant will post back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028617 Title: Cursor shakes violently when connected to power source - makes touchpad cursor unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1028617/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
